This rich sauce, prepared by blending walnuts with garlic, vinegar and spices, is the traditional accompaniment to boiled chicken in Georgian cuisine. With its creamy texture and tangy taste, it is a special flavor served cold.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Grind the walnuts

8 min

Blend the walnuts with garlic and a little water in a food processor until it forms a smooth paste.

2

Add the spices

3 min

Add the red pepper flakes, cumin, and optional cinnamon and mix.

3

Thin with water and vinegar

5 min

Gradually add the vinegar and remaining water to bring the sauce to a pourable consistency, and season with salt.

4

Let it rest and serve

4 min

Rest the sauce in the refrigerator for at least a few hours; serve cold poured over boiled chicken.

Reminder

Allergen: contains walnut (tree nut); those with a relevant allergy should not consume it. Important: grinding the walnuts with a little water in the processor makes it easier to get a smooth consistency. Note: the sauce thickens as it cools; bring it to room temperature before pouring it over the chicken.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Letting the sauce rest in the fridge for at least a few hours after preparing lets the spices fully permeate the walnut; in Georgian cuisine, satsivi is usually prepared a day ahead and served cold.

İkinci kez yapıyorum, ilkinden de güzel oldu. Annemin yıllardır yaptığı tarife çok benziyor, nostaljik oldu. Malzemeleri tarttım, ölçüler tam tuttu.
